Re: Advice required please Digital Painting
interesting subject... a guy's butt... /shrug i think your problem is your inability to render forms. practice rendering forms in pencil. create spheres, cones, and cubes. then make more complex shapes that are fused, twisted, and overlap one another. then render dynamic light over their surfaces. these understandings will… -
Re: Sketchbook: TunaSandwich
These are some 3d stuff I did in the past, Skull practice! Low Poly modelling practice Little big planet fan art of me and my old college team- Gwendolyn from Odin sphere (this was mostly flat coloured textures) the textures for the face, hair and feathers were the only unique ones- I was pretty noob at texturing- -
Re: [Coming Soon] PBRTK - PBR Viewport Shader for 3DS Max
Actually, I just changed that yesterday. Now it takes separate images for metalness, ambient occlusion, and roughness. Also, non-metal surfaces are now assumed to be 4% reflective - this was mentioned over on the PBR in Practice page on the Marmoset website, and I went with it as it allows me to drop a full extra texture.… -
Re: Terrain density and vertex colouring
Is it a common practice to blend ground using decals? Aren't decals expensive? Every guide I have seen recommends using vertex blending because it is cheap to do and with a few extra instructions you can make the transitions fit practically any scenario. Also because it does not take nearly as much memory as the texture… -
Character Modelling Sheets
Hi everyone, just recently graduated from university whilst I was working on character projects for my groups game I always followed a practice of using a model sheet in a T-Pose when I was working in 3Ds Max. Now I am looking for a job within the industry I was just wondering if this is a common practice or would I just… -
Re: AIM Sports Scope
do you plan on making it all 1 contiguous piece of geometry? this definitely is a great asset to practice some molded shapes with. i made one a few years back and just kinda did what you're doing, making the basic shapes and shoving them into each other.. but in the end its a really fun practice to make the geometry work… -
Re: Best way to learn 3D animation?
I got my breakthrough after getting the Blender Animation Fundamentals DVD. Obviously it's Blender specific, but it gave me solid animation foundations on which to build on. It's available from: https://cgcookie.com/course/blender-animation-fundamentals/ The rest is then animating, practice, animating, checking all sorts… -
Re: How long does it take to learn 3D art?
Agreed Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect, as my martial arts instructor used to say. If you make crap all day long you learn nothing and gain nothing. You need to put the time into making things well and constantly be pushing your limits. Straight time isn't the question, it's how you use that… -
Re: [WIP] Photogrammetry Bag Scene
Time for another update on this project! Been focusing more on environment materials for the ground since my last post as I want to practice a bit of designer materials. Took some time over the christmas break to make a leaf generator using splines and shape splattering. This is the progress so far, but I think it would be… -
Sketchbook: SmilingMountain
Figured it's high time to stop lurking and start a sketchbook, been trying to get better at 2d recently after spending a lot of time on 3d stuff. Trying to learn to draw faces mainly as well as grasp the basics of 1 and 2 point perspective. Here are a few recent pieces of work: A couple of rts/ fantasy houses I drew to…
